http://ai2017.net/znjeu9397#respondThu, 14 May 2020 11:15:53 +0000http://ai2017.net/znjeu9397The Cavani-Atlético de Madrid case continues to give controversy as the days progress. Walter Guglielmone, agent and brother of the Uruguayan striker, has stepped into the SER chain of Enrique Cerezo’s statements in which he accused the player’s family of trying to attack Atleti. Walter has come to ask: “Who is Enrique Cerezo?”. And he denies that the president has been present in the negotiations: “I never saw it this month, I don’t even know what role it plays”. He also points directly to the rojiblanco team as guilty that the operation has not crystallized: “Something they have to say to their hobby to explain why Edi hasn’t come“. In addition, he has stated that “Cavani was willing to perceive less than in the PSG”, after which he has shared the reason he has given up with the transfer: “Atlético could not cover the total economic cost of the operation and the PSG did not want to lower the amounts requested. Atlético de Madrid failed to close the agreement, “the agent and brother of the forward slipped.Finally, he has closed his speech with a question: “Do you think that Edi did not play for almost a month with the PSG so that I could drop the operation for a commission and that Edi did not fulfill his dream of going to Atlético de Madrid? And all the mess we ride with PSG … Because if it were for money, Edi would have gone to England, Manchester (United) or Chelsea, “he concluded.

http://ai2017.net/znjeu9396#respondThu, 14 May 2020 08:15:25 +0000http://ai2017.net/znjeu9396Both teams had started the season far from their best level, and reached the 16th day distanced from their goals, third place in the case of the mattresses and European positions in the case of their rival. Despite the fact that the locals shot 23 times and the visitors 18, only three shots from each team went to goal. Simeone’s team, with a shot to the post by Joao Félix in the 85th minute, was the closest to taking the game.An assistant under sticksMarc-André Ter Stegen is, if not the best, one of the best goalkeepers in the world. His great footwork is undoubtedly one of his most distinctive features. The German goalkeeper is the first FC Barcelona goalkeeper to manage an assist in the League so far this century, data that shows why he is the most suitable goalkeeper for the culé team. Ter Stegen has made two assists so far in the championship. The first was against Getafe at the Coliseum, with a pass to Luis Suárez that allowed the Catalan team to open the can, in a match that would end 0-2. The second was two months later, this time in a 5-2 victory at Camp Nou against Mallorca, with a pass that also marked his team’s first goal. The German already has more assists in the League than Eden Hazard, Joao Félix or his teammate Jordi Alba.Way of being a legendJoaquín Sánchez is, without a doubt, one of the active legends of Spanish football. The Andalusian, one of the most respected players in the League, is on his way to becoming the field player with the most matches played in the Spanish First Division. This season he has already surpassed Manolo Sanchís (523), Paco Buyo (542) and Eusebio Sacristán (543). Osasuna, who returned to the First Division this season, added a total of 29 shots to turn the game around, being the team that has done the most in a game this season. 14 of those shots were on goal and three of them, those of Oier, Rubén García and Estupiñán, became a goal, showing that in Pamplona it is very difficult to get a good result. Those 29 shots are, in fact, the highest record for the Navarrese team in the highest category of Spanish football since the 2003/2004 campaign. With 544 matches behind him, if the competition can finally resume, this season he could beat Raúl González, who reached 550 with the Real Madrid shirt. Thus, he would become the field player with the most matches played. He would only have Andoni Zubizarreta ahead, who between 1981 and 1998 accumulated 622 matches. A figure that seems difficult to reach for the Betis player.The Bordalás sealGetafe is one of the revelation teams of the season. If last season he fought until the end for fourth place, which gives access to the Champions League, this year he seems to want to fight again. At the moment, on day 27, the Madrid team is fifth, tied on points with Real Sociedad, which occupies that dream fourth place. In this meeting, in addition, the blaugrana overcome the barrier of 1000 passes, specifically reaching 1002, which is also the highest pass record for Barça in a league game played at the Camp Nou since at least the 2005/2006 season. With Setién, overwhelming possession has once again become a hallmark of the Catalan painting.The King of DodgeIn the last game of FC Barcelona before the suspension of the League, where he faced Real Sociedad, Leo Messi became the player who has tried the most dribbles in a game this season. The Argentine tried to dribble an opponent up to 15 times. The azulgrana captain, in addition, would end up giving the three points to the culé team with a penalty goal in the 81st minute. A victory that allowed Barcelona to regain leadership, which it had lost on the previous day with the defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu. But that is not all. Messi is not only the player who has dribbled the most in a game this season, but also is the protagonist of two of the three matches in which a player has completed more dribbles. Ten were the ones that he successfully carried out precisely against the txuriurdin team, but he also got many others against Sevilla, in the Catalan team’s 4-0 victory at Camp Nou. Not in vain, He is the league’s most dribbling player, at 118, a far cry from Nabil Fekir’s 73, which occupies the second position.Wet gunpowderVillarreal and Atlético de Madrid starred on December 6 in the zero draw with the most finishes in the five major European leagues this season, along with Milan-Sassuolo. After 41 attempts, neither the ‘Submarino’ nor the rojiblanco team were able to beat Jan Oblak and Sergio Asenjo, respectively. In the 82nd minute, Benzema went down to the midfield to receive the ball, but his pass went directly to the feet of Andrés Guardado, who left Cristian Tello with three touches, who had entered to replace Joaquín. The former FC Barcelona would beat Courtois to establish the definitive 2-1 and leave the leadership in the hands of the Catalan team.The return of possessionOn January 19, FC Barcelona defeated Granada at home 1-0 thanks to a goal from their captain, Leo Messi, in the debut of Quique Setién as coach of the Barça team. In this match, the Catalan team had 82.44% possession, being the best record in a LaLiga game in the last eight seasons. In the 89th minute, Óscar Plano gave the first victory of the season to the Valladolid team after completing a play preceded, no more and no less, than 23 passes from his team, in which all the field players of the team trained by Sergio González participated. Before, Loren had tied a game in which Sergi Guardiola had advanced to Valladolid, who played practically the whole game with one more man due to the expulsion of Joel Robles in the 8th minute.Navarre bombardmentWith Rodrigo’s early goal, which overtook Valencia at El Sadar before the quarter hour of the game, the Celades team seemed to have the game on. But fifteen minutes later, everything turned against him. With the expulsion of Rodrigo himself, the match became an ordeal for the whole team.. A ruling that can cost a titleFrenchman Karim Benzema made the first mistake on the last day of the league that cost a goal for the first time in his entire league career with Real Madrid.. It was at Benito Villamarín, in a game in which Betis had advanced thanks to a goal from Sidnei and that Real Madrid striker himself had been responsible for tying when transforming a penalty. The great architect of all this is his coach, José Bordalás. The Alicante coach rescued the Azulones from the Second Division and took them to Europe thanks to an aggressive football philosophy that keeps its footballers with a high degree of concentration, allowing them to compete in the vast majority of matches. Getafe is, in fact, the team that has fouled the most (514) and received the most yellow cards (92) from the five major European leagues this season.The most elaborate goalThe most elaborate goal of the season came as soon as late, paradoxically. Soon because it was on the first day, specifically in the ninth game of the League, the one that faced Real Betis and Real Valladolid at Benito Villamarín. Late because he arrived at the end of the meeting. It was, in fact, the last goal of the day.

http://ai2017.net/znjeu9392#respondMon, 10 Feb 2020 03:03:49 +0000http://ai2017.net/znjeu9392KINGSTON (CMC): Cricket legend Michael Holding has blasted the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) as “dysfunctional” and “untrustworthy” and cautioned that the game is in danger of further deterioration if changes are not made. Holding’s public rebuke of the Dave Cameron-led WICB comes amid reports of defiance at the board’s quarterly meeting in St Lucia on Saturday. The WICB said it has retained the services of Dominican lawyer Anthony Astaphan to provide advice on the recommendations of the CARICOM report calling for the dissolution of the board. A WICB release quotes Astaphan as saying that the way forward is for the board and CARICOM to work together to improve the game in the region. “As for the state of West Indies cricket, that will only get worse as long as this current crop of board members remain there and the structure and culture remains the same,” Holding told Fairfax Media. “You cannot have a healthy productive employee workforce while the employer is dysfunctional, untrustworthy and not liked by the employees.” West Indies cricket has been marred by a turbulent relationship between the board and the players and last year the team abandoned a tour of India, leading to a US$42 million lawsuit from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The latest humiliation for the former world beaters came on the weekend when they crashed to an embarrassing innings and 212-run loss to Australia inside three day in the opening Test. – CMC

Williams was reportedly hand picked by Holness to be the JLP’s standard bearer in the tricky St Andrew Eastern constituency. Williams is a newcomer to the political process, while Hylton is a first term Member of Parliament. The couple entered the Mona High School at approximately 8 a.m. and was directed to PD 35, where he pressed flesh with voters before casting his ballot. Holness’ wife Juliet looked like a veteran in the political business as she first greeted the orange clad members of the PNP outdoor team before high fisting JLP outdoor agent’s with huge grins. He told The Gleaner that he was satisfied with the proceedings so far, although he has received a few complaints of intimidation. Holness also expressed confidence in the ability of his wife to win the neighbouring St Andrew East Rural seat, saying “Juliet knows what she is about.’ The polling station seemed ready for action, long before the 7 o’clock start time. But before the pair appeared at the centre, Beverley Manley, a former wife of former President of the PNP Michael Manley, was seen at the centre, to vote precisely at 7 a.m. The teams of outdoor agents from both the JLP and PNP were all in place just after 6:45 a.m. when The Gleaner arrived. Both sides announced their satisfaction with the arrangements. A long line of early voters were already queued station at 7 a.m. when the station was scheduled to be opened under the Representation of the People Act.

http://ai2017.net/znjeu9388#respondMon, 20 Jan 2020 05:35:03 +0000http://ai2017.net/znjeu9388LONDON (AP):Fusing strength, aggression and pace, Eden Hazard received the ball inside Chelsea’s own half and just kept on running, fending off every frail barrier of Arsenal’s resistance.Laurent Koscielny was the first opponent brushed aside and Francis Coquelin was left spinning, trying forlornly to put in a tackle before slipping to the turf.Hazard just continued to zip forward. Koscielny had darted back in defence, but was as ineffective in immobilising Hazard a second time. The fleet-footed winger wove his way past the Arsenal captain and then outmuscled Shkodran Mustafi before slotting a low shot past goalkeeper Petr Cech.”To dribble like I did,” Hazard said, “I try to do this every game, but it’s not like this every game.”It was a mesmerising solo goal that thrilled Chelsea fans, coming between Marcos Alonso’s header and Cesc F‡bregas’ lob into an empty net in a 3-1 victory for the Premier League leaders over Arsenal. Owner Roman Abramovich was in awe, high-fiving those around him in the executive seating. Manager Antonio Conte flung himself into the crowd behind the dugout, swarmed by fans.A goal of such exceptional quality embodied Chelsea’s transformation since a 3-0 loss in the reverse fixture in September. That defeat saw an eight-point chasm open up between Chelsea, then in eighth place, and front-runner Manchester City. Now, Conte is well placed to end his first season as Chelsea manager by lifting the Premier League trophy, with his team 12 points in front of north London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal.”It’s important to keep our antenna very high,” Conte said, “because in my career as a footballer, I won a lot, but I lost a lot.”WENGER LOSING A LOTIt is Arsene Wenger losing a lot at the moment, with his Arsenal side beaten in four of their last nine league games.”We lost many balls in positions where you cannot afford to lose it when you play against a team good on counterattack,” Wenger said.Coming four days after a home loss to Watford, this was another unsettling day for a bedraggled Arsenal and Wenger, who was forced to watch from the stands as he continued his four-match touchline ban for pushing a fourth official.

He showed no signs of slowing down, if anything he had found a new gear.James then carried the Cavs, with their flawed roster after a massive trading deadline turnover, through the Eastern Conference playoffs — they survived two Game 7s and swept the top-seeded Toronto Raptors — to the NBA Finals for a fourth straight meeting with the Golden State Warriors.It was James’ eighth consecutive Finals appearance, a remarkable feat not matched since Hall of Famer Bill Russell and a handful of Celtics did it in the 1960s. Cleveland was overmatched but James had the Cavs in position to steal Game 1 before a late-game missed free throw by George Hill and mental meltdown by Cavs forward J.R. Smith, who dribbled out the final seconds of regulation thinking his team was leading, led to an overtime loss.With MVP Kevin Durant heading the charge, the Warriors completed a sweep of the Cavs and James, who revealed following the series that he had broken his right hand in a fit of frustration following Game 1.James had numerous reasons to be upset. He had done everything possible, and as he left Quicken Loans Arena following Game 4 along with his sons, there was an air of uncertainty heading into this summer.Those unknowns remain, but James is closer to solving them.

MOST READ Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb works in the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Sunday, July 29, 2018, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb apologized Sunday for racist, homophobic and sexist tweets he sent as a teenager, calling them “some stupid stuff.”“I definitely regret it, for sure,” he said.ADVERTISEMENT “We find the tweets hurtful and incredibly disappointing and even though he was 18 or 19 years old when posted, it doesn’t make them any less tolerable. We will work together with Sean towards mending the wounds created in our community,” the team said.Atlanta’s clubhouse had already closed to the media after he answered questions about his career-best moment, a 4-1 victory in which he came within one strike of pitching a no-hitter. Chris Taylor broke up the bid with two out single in the ninth inning.Newcomb said he had forgotten about the tweets until he picked up his phone postgame and saw mentions of the posts. The Braves reopened the locker room about 30 minutes later — Newcomb said it was his idea for a team official to bring reporters back downstairs so he could address the subject.“This is something obviously that can’t be happening,” he said. “I feel bad about it. I don’t mean to offend anybody. It was six, seven years ago. I didn’t mean anything by it and I definitely regret it, for sure.”Newcomb said he doesn’t think the tweets will cause fallout among current teammates.“No, I don’t think so,” he said. “I think people that know me know that’s not the kind of person I am. It’s been a long time since then and at the same time I didn’t mean anything by it.”Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next View comments Lights inside SMX hall flicker as Duterte rants vs Ayala, Pangilinan anew Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard PLAY LIST 02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award ‘High crimes and misdemeanors’: Trump impeachment trial begins Trump assembles a made-for-TV impeachment defense team Putin’s, Xi’s ruler-for-life moves pose challenges to West DepEd’s Taal challenge: 30K students displaced Report: Disney dropping the ‘Fox’ from movie studio names Don’t miss out on the latest news and information.
